We were really excited to welcome Funkformat to SPACE the other day to run our JUBILATION! Dance workshop. Over half a day, Sasha from the dance company joined a small group of young people to create and workshop a dance to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Thanks to all those who took part
We have great news, for those of you who already have an Arts Award Discover, you can now use our FREE JUBILATION! workshops to achieve your Arts Award Explore, for only the cost of moderation with Trinity College London (our outside moderators who check our marking and administer the award). This means that your son, daughter, or non-binary child can access our free workshops and achieve the next level of arts award for very little cost.
Those who wish to undertake the Arts Award Explore will need to attend all the workshops as part of JUBILATION! Art, Music, Poetry, and Dance, this is because the Arts Award Explore is a higher award and requires more work and evidence than the Discover.
The cost to us for moderation and certificate is £14 per a child, but we are able to reduce this cost by to £12 using some of our contingency funding. If you would like your child to undertake an Arts Award Explore then please email us and we will invoice you via paypal. This will need to be paid as “friends and family” or a “seller you trust” otherwise there will be costs added and it will cost us money rather than saving you money on moderartion.
As part of our exciting Spring project we have a great opportunity for a dance company or choreographer with a current DBS certificate (within 6 months) to work with us this Spring over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
The selected candidate will spend a half-day working with children/young people to create a piece that tells a story and celebrates the 70 years of the Queen’s reign. The time spent will total 3 hours including two 10 minute breaks. The piece will be performed to a small audience at the end of the session. We are looking at the possibility of this performance taking place outside (weather dependent).
We will pay a total of £200 for the 3-hour session and up to £50 to cover expenses for the day (including travel, money towards childcare if required, and food). This will be payable after an invoice is raised and will be paid by the Tuesday following receipt of the invoice.
To apply please do fill out this short form, including a link to your related work
Alternatively, if you wish to discuss this further please email beth@liveartlocal.co.uk and leave any details, plus a phone number and we will call you back to discuss.
Due to when funding was confirmed and the short timeframe we have for this project we aim to let the successful candidate know by 17th April.
This week we were lucky enough to be joined by the artistic directors of Folk Dance Remixed who led a session teaching our participants a number of street dance and folk dance steps that are fused to create an exciting and different style of movement.
If you were unable to make the session then join along at home whenever you feel comfortable by following the recording of our workshop with FolkDance Remixed.

Every week until 19th August we are running a Culture @ Home session on Wednesday afternoons at 2pm. These are always free and the creatives are each paid £150 for taking part. After the sessions we compress the recording and where agreed with the artist, make it available online so that those who could not join our sessions are able to make use of them at home.
This week we were lucky enough to have movement director and choreographer Susanna Dye open us up to the idea of using your home as a creative tool for movement and to look at these places we inhabit with fresh eyes. The session is below, thanks to all who took part.
